Superman's End Manual

"You weirdo, stop right there!"

The sound of Ashes came from above. She was falling rapidly with her umbrella held high, her skirt fluttering and her black hair flying upwards.

As the doll spun between skyscrapers, clinging to spider silk, it shouted, "I know what you're upset about, Miss Ash. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Shut up!"

The girl interrupted it, her clear eyes filled with anger.

As she fell, she gripped the umbrella handle tightly, turned Cinderella around, aimed the tip of the umbrella at the doll's back, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

As the gunshot rang out, a cold arc was drawn in mid-air as a dense barrage of magic missiles accurately struck the puppet's back.

Before the doll could react, it was struck squarely in the back by the magic missile, and a gash appeared in its chest. Clutching its heart, it released its grip on the spider silk, turned, and slowly plummeted towards the road below.

The deafening horn blared from below; if it were to fall onto the busy road, it would only be instantly crushed into mud.

In mid-air, it raised its empty eyes, clutched its chest with both hands, and looked sincerely at the ashes hovering in the air: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell Little Red Riding Hood your identity. I just felt so sorry for her. She admires you so much and wants to know who you really are. How could I bear to do that?"

"I said, go die."

Magical Girl Ash spoke coldly, her eyes hidden by her bangs.

The next instant, the doll's body crashed onto the road, colliding head-on with a huge truck, and was thrown more than ten meters away before slamming into the surface of a building.

"We're still friends, aren't we?"

It's like Jesus nailed to the cross, slowly raising his head from the crater in the high-rise building, grinning as he looks down at the ashes.

"friend?"

Magical Girl Ash chuckled coldly, lowered her gaze, and looked down at him condescendingly: "We've never been friends... not now, and never will be."

With that, she pointed the umbrella tip at the doll's head and forcefully pulled the trigger. A lead-gray magical bullet shot out from the umbrella tip, accurately striking the doll's head.

No...you will need me.

After uttering his last words, the doll's head burst open with a "poof".

It slowly lowered its head, its body gradually cracked and heated up, finally turning into a burst of intense flames that rose from the crater, illuminating the entire road and the dark high-rise building.

"Someday it will happen..."

As the soft voice faded, a strange laugh seemed to echo through every corner of the room.

Please vote for me, thank you!

Chapter 87, Serial Number NO.0, The Day of Kiamat

Night fell like a curtain, enveloping the brightly lit Old Jingmai neighborhood.

In the Bai family's house, scattered lights cast shadows of people on the curtains. Some sat by the window reading; some sat at the table playing on their phones; some drew back the curtains, cupped their faces in their hands, and gazed at the night sky in a daze, their snow-white hair swaying gently in the moonlight.

Amidst the incessant chirping of cicadas, the lights behind the windows went out one by one in the evening breeze, plunging the entire apartment building into darkness.

Right now, in one of the dimly lit rooms.

Ke Mingye lay on the bed with his arms behind his head, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

"Roll the dice once a day, and on the night of June 30th, the 'Calamity Dice' will evolve into a C-level skill."

"With my current strength, it's too difficult for me to intervene in the conflict between my second brother and the elementary school student... The elementary school student could easily kill me, and the ninjas sent by the Ninja Clan are probably not much weaker. But if I roll the dice well on July 4th, it might have a surprising effect?"

He let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and tried to wake himself from his drowsiness, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

I picked up my phone from beside my pillow, unlocked the screen, glanced at the homepage for a second, and then listlessly opened the browser.

Ke Mingye glanced at Baidu's trending search list and clicked on the website ranked fifth on the list—"Magical Girl Alliance Official Website".

According to statistics, the official website of Magical Girls Alliance receives nearly 5 million visits every day, demonstrating the high level of attention it receives from netizens.

The official website of the Alliance records the files of any magical girl who has appeared in various parts of the world, even if she has only appeared in front of the public once or has never joined the Alliance.

However, their real names were not disclosed.

Normally, only official staff have the authority to access the true identities of magical girls. Others can only view limited information about them, such as: "favorite food", "dislikes", "what they do at the victory celebration after defeating villains", and "ideal partners"...

In fact, it's all useless information; the official announcement didn't even include the birthday.

If a magical girl has a business partnership with a company, the bottom of her profile will contain information that is clearly for commercial promotion, such as "I heard that this magical girl likes 'Summer of Dawn' brand potato chips" or "I heard that this magical girl usually uses 'Ligekaf' brand skincare products."

There's also a blatant redirect link next to it, the intention of which is obvious and doesn't need to be said, but some die-hard fans will still fall for it.

In today's era of internet traffic, businesses in any field will eventually be crushed by their competitors if they can't afford to hire a magical girl or superhero as their spokesperson.

If someone is lucky enough to get world-renowned figures like Philando Gomez and Xi Ziyue, then even if the product quality is poor, it will most likely sell out overnight.

Ke Mingye aimlessly browsed the official website, his gaze sweeping over the beautiful faces with sweet smiles, until he became somewhat aesthetically fatigued, until he came across a girl wearing a gothic black dress.

It was like spotting a lone crow among a flock of white pigeons.

Ash's file photo stood out among the magical girls, whose faces were either smiling or expressionless.

With a cold expression on her face, she tilted her head slightly to the right, her eyes filled with disdain.

She seemed to be forced into the business, and it's likely that her file photo was taken under duress from Xi Ziyue and others. Given her temperament, she only listens to her three masters.

Entering the file, you can't even see information like "favorite food" or "fear of things". Looking through the whole row, apart from the "magical girl code name" section with a big "ash" written next to it, the rest of the space is completely empty.

"You're so willful, sis."

Ke Mingye chuckled softly, his finger lingering on her file for two seconds, thinking to himself that if it weren't for Xi Ziyue, her biological mother, protecting her, Bai Zini wouldn't be so arrogant.

However, he was quite curious: which one was the real Bai Zini? Was it the arrogant and domineering magical girl Ash... or the girl next door who was always at home?

Or perhaps, both of them are her?

Ke Mingye thought casually as he slowly swiped his finger down, and the face of the magical girl Ash disappeared from the screen.

Scrolling down, you'll see that the official website of the Alliance also regularly releases information on "magical girl interns," attracting public attention and interest.

As the name suggests, these magical girls are all interning at the Alliance.

If some magical girl interns are more outstanding in terms of ability than in appearance, then they will officially join the Allied Association and set about fighting criminals.

However, if a magical girl intern's appearance is more outstanding than her abilities, then the Allied Federation will provide her with another option: debut as an idol, sign with a management company, learn singing, dancing, and rapping, and strive to shine on stage.

At the same time, they will sign a revenue-sharing agreement. As long as they perform well and are popular, they can bring considerable economic benefits to the Girls' Alliance.

Normally, each country's magical girl alliance has a cooperation channel with the local idol management company:

The Magical Girl Alliance introduces exceptionally talented magical girls to idol management companies, and the companies, in turn, give the Magical Girl Alliance a share of the profits based on the girls' performance.

As an important source of profit for the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance), this mutually beneficial cooperation also received strong official support.

However, due to concerns about the mortality rate of underage magical girls, Chinese netizens have recently expressed increasing opposition to magical girls. As a result, idols who debut as magical girl trainees have naturally faced equal resistance in the entertainment industry.

With one of its revenue streams severely impacted, the Chinese branch of the Magical Girl Alliance was naturally in dire straits, relying entirely on Xi Ziyue working overtime to shoot commercials to keep it afloat.

If it weren't for the fact that she alone brought tens of millions in economic benefits to the Chinese branch of the Tongmenghui, the branch would not have been able to survive until now.

Ke Mingye reviewed the information of a batch of magical girl interns. Among these interns, 70% of the magical girls chose to debut as idols.

This data is somewhat exaggerated. Perhaps influenced by public opinion in China, other countries have also begun to take the issue of magical girl mortality rates seriously.

Unlike China, they don't completely boycott magical girls. Instead, they believe that magical girls are better suited to be decorative figures than to fight crime—just as Black people have a racial talent for rapping, magical girls have a natural advantage in being lovable, and it would be a waste to waste that talent.

Ke Mingye yawned, his eyes still wet with sleep, and continued to swipe down on the screen.

The official website of the Alliance also publicly records some information about the magic cards.

According to current statistics, a total of 126 types of magic cards have appeared in the world, including some self-created cards. For example, among the three giants, Utina created her own "Holy Sword Burst," Lily created her own "Iceberg Meteor," and Xizi Yue created her own "Time Train"...

The first two are A-rank cards, while the latter is an S-rank card.

Only magical girls with exceptional talent can create their own cards, and these three are among them; otherwise, they wouldn't be representative figures of contemporary magical girls.

However, ordinary magical girls can create magical cards by extracting a small fragment of a comet from their own body and using tools to shape the fragment into a card engraved with magical patterns.

During the crafting process, you can also add some mystical materials in a whimsical way, which might give the crafted cards strange effects.

Xi Ziyue had summarized some rules and experiences in card crafting and generously shared them on the Alliance's official website.

However, according to the association's statistics, the comet fragments inside an ordinary magical girl are enough to create a maximum of 300 magic cards.

If they don't exercise restraint and exhaust the comet fragments, they might lose their magical girl powers and revert to normal humans—after all, the power of comet-type magical girls comes from the fragments within their bodies.

"Could I also create cards?" Ke Mingye wondered. "I could turn a doll into a magical girl, extract comet fragments from it, and make them into cards. I could keep a lot of cards on hand for any eventuality... Whether I'm playing a dungeon or causing trouble outside, magical cards can come in handy."

However, while crafting cards is easy, mastering them is difficult. Each magic card has a corresponding level of difficulty, and the higher the level of the card, the harder it is to control.

They must infuse the cards with magic of the same nature as the cards, resonating with them, in order to activate the cards and make them work for them.

This morning, when Magical Girl Ash was chasing a superhuman criminal, she used a B-rank magic card called "Gale".

Aside from special elemental types like ice and snow, wind magic cards are among the most difficult to control of the ordinary elemental types.

This shows that Ash isn't bad at using magic cards; he's simply going through a rebellious phase and doesn't want to use them.

For the safety of the magical girls, the official information on only a very limited number of cards is made public—even some obscure websites, based on past magical girl battle videos, have compiled a list of more card types than what is shown on the official website of the Alliance.

Ke Mingye opened the card catalog on the official website, and the first card that caught his eye was serial number NO.000 - [Kiamat's Day].
